A mobile electronic device that can set and release a lock state, the device comprising: a display operable to display a first screen in a lock state, the screen comprising a first display object; a touch panel coupled to the display, and operable to detect a touch on the first display object, a move of the touch and a release of the touch; a controller, operable to: cause the display to substitute the first display object with a second display object upon the detection of the touch on the first display object and before the move of the touch; and release the lock state when the move of the touch moves the second display object to a predetermined area on the display.
2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further operable to cause the display to substitute the second display object with a third display object when the second display object reaches the predetermined area.
3. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further operable to keep the lock state when the release is detected on an area different from the predetermined area.
4. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further operable to cause the display to display a second screen to execute a predetermined process upon releasing the lock state.
5. The mobile electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined process comprises an email-related process.
6. The mobile electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined process comprises an internet-related process.
7. The mobile electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined process comprises a phone-related process.
8. A method for controlling lock state of a mobile terminal, the method comprising: displaying a first screen with a first display object on a display in a lock state; receiving first and second user inputs on a touch panel; substituting the first display object with a second display object upon the receipt of the first user input when the first user input is a touch on the first display object and before receiving the second user input of a move of the touch; and changing the lock state to an unlock state when the second user input comprises the move of the touch of the second display object to a predetermined area.
